Plugins misbehave if $CF_HOME is set but $CF_PLUGIN_HOME is not set

[glyn]

I found the following behaviour with cf version 6.22.2+a95e24c-2016-10-27.

Attempt to get help for one my my plugin's commands:

$ CF_HOME=/tmp/tmpcfhome cf help config-server-encrypt-value
'config-server-encrypt-value' is not a registered command. See 'cf help'
FAILED

So it appears that the plugin is not installed. If I attempt to install it:

$ CF_HOME=/tmp/tmpcfhome cf install-plugin -f /path/to/spring-cloud-services-cli-plugin
Installing plugin spring-cloud-services-cli-plugin...
FAILED
The file spring-cloud-services-cli-plugin already exists under the plugin directory.

then it appears that the plugin is already installed.

I can work around this problem by setting $CF_PLUGIN_HOME.

The plugin commands (and help) are now consistently falling back to $CF_HOME when $CF_PLUGIN_HOME is not set. Thanks for reporting.
